Liverpool have effectively been handed a transfer boost in their pursuit of Marc Guehi after Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner publicly outlined the conditions under which the defender could leave Selhurst Park.

The article explains that Liverpool retain a strong interest in Guehi after narrowly missing out on signing him on the final day of the summer transfer window, when Palace were unable to secure a replacement in time. Since then, Guehi has entered the final months of his contract, heightening speculation over a move away from Palace and making him a major target for top clubs.

Glasner has now confirmed that Palace are open to selling if they receive a “good financial proposal” and if the player wants to go, effectively giving suitors a clear green light to bid. This stance is a shift from Palace’s previous hardline position and suggests that a January or summer exit is firmly on the table, especially given Guehi’s contract situation and the risk of losing him for free.

Liverpool are not alone in the race, with Manchester City, Bayern Munich and other European giants also monitoring the situation closely. Reports suggest City are actively pushing for a deal and considering a substantial offer, while Liverpool are tracking developments and weighing up their move as they look to strengthen Arne Slot’s defensive options.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano is cited as noting that the “doors are not closed” on a January departure, but that Liverpool view a mid-season deal as difficult and may be more likely to act in the summer. Even so, Glasner’s comments mean that, for the first time, Liverpool and other suitors have explicit encouragement that Palace will do business for the right price, potentially setting up a major transfer battle for Guehi in the coming windows.
